{\noindent Dear Mr. Anselm:}

Under separate cover, we are sending you: 1) The December 1981 preliminary
draft of ``The WEB System of Structured Documentation'' by Donald E.
Knuth, and 2) A magnetic tape containing, amoung other things, the WEB
information that you requested in your letter of December 8, 1981.  I am
enclosing a list of the files and a second sheet that explains the details
of the tape format.

This tape contains quite a few files that you may not need,
but we are attempting to standardize on the variety of tapes that we
send out and it seemed better to send this collection to you than
to try to hand-tailor a tape specifically to meet your needs.

The hard-copy report was written in WEB and prepared for printing through
the use of the WEAVE program and of TEX.  Appendices to this report
contain the complete WEAVE-produced listings of TANGLE and of WEAVE
itself. Appendix G, on page 176, outlines the procedure that may be
necessary to install the WEB system on your computer.

Thank you for the \$25 check.  The figure of \$25 was originally set by
Don Knuth to get a few people to act as guinea pigs to help in the initial
debugging operation.  The response has, however, been overwhelming and we
now find that it is costing us much more than this amount to make and mail
each tape. If it is not too difficult for you to get your University to
pay a more adequate figure for the handling charges, we would appreciate an
additional check for \$75.  This is in no sense a fixed charge but we do
find it difficult to finance the sending out of tapes in the volume that
they are being requested.
